The hitting is the first thing I noticed. Would love to see our team bring that type of intensity.

Pen players crumpled all over the ice.

This series is gonna have a couple of line brawls.

Bruce just coaches the team he's given, and he's never won with one. What's he proved? That he can call out players names at certain times, and make them feel good about themselves? Uninspiring.

Bruce is basically the sous chef: he might know how to cook the food but he has no vision. You need a flair for the dramatics if you're going to be a head chef in this analogy.

That Rags, Pens, Flyers hate triad is awesome to watch. Maybe we’ll get that one day between Nucks, Oil, and Flames. One can hope.

If no major changes are coming, then I guess the Canucks will be filling out the final 8 roster spots with players on league minimum deals, as they will only have about 7 million in capspace.
Yes I know all about the ltir guys.

That seems to be the approach of most teams these days. Superstars supported by a bunch of crap.

Marwood has already stated he loves the new direction of the team.

Rutherford on Miller - The reason we did not trade him at the deadline is because we believed we still had a chance to make playoffs, he had a career year, he is a good player and we will try and re-sign him.

Rutherford on Jack Rathbone - We tried for 2 months to get him up, injuries and roster problems stopped us. He will be in Vancouver next season.

Penguins are a better analytical team.

Crosby is sickening.

Well, any change after Benning/Green was refreshing.

That change itself was very refreshing.

In the pool I am in, I have Blues beating Penguins for the Cup.

Hopefully I do as well as last year.😁

So the new management is going to leave Bruce a lame duck coach. They "want him back under his current deal". Not going to extend him any time soon. Will decide at the end of this contract they are saying.

Hmmm... seen this movie recently....

I spread myself too thin. There are 12 of us so it’s deep and difficult to load up on just 2 teams. But I limited myself to CGY/COL/FLA/BOS

CGY has a nice path to WCF, DAL and then winner of LA/EDM so I loaded up on them the most.

Bruins pick looking rough so far
